Last week, my 9 month old Limited signalled me that my spare tire was low.
So, what is the perferred way of airing the spare?
When I crawed under the car, the valve was on the top side of the spare tire. I could get my hand up there and removed the valve cap. I couldn't check the tire pressure as I couldn't get my "pen style" pressure gauage up there and turned in a maner to check the pressure.
The air hose at my local gas station doesn't have a pressure guage on it. And the idea of lying on my back in a gas station to air my spare tire and then to get my seat dirty with the stuff on my back.
I ended up using a bike tire pump to fill up my tire. That seemed like 20 times more work than filling up a bike tire.
Seems like there should be a better way. I couldn't find anything in the owner's manual.
Thanks
Tom
